they have faith in us. they expect us to figure that out. so as the secretary has made clear, we simply have to come together to prevent this across-the-board, unbalanced cut that could jeopardize our ability to deal with the very real and serious threats that we face. the chiefs and i have no issue with military budgets being held accountable in these challenging times, or with the need to make tough program decisions as we move ahead. that's why our strategy and the budget that supports it constitute a carefully balanced set of choices. these choices make sure we have the right talent and the right tools to keep our country immune from coercion. a balanced approach is what the secretary and the joints chiefs and i seek, and a sensible way forward is what we expect. that's the only way we can honor our commitment to our military family and to the american people. we have to remember, too, that the force of the future -- that is, america's sons and daughters who may be out there contemplating a military career -- are also watching. i'm also

guest: you most important use is still american food use. after that, ethanol and corn exports. there are pressures to get rid of the fuel standards. some say it is not necessary because there is already ethanol in the pipeline. they are not so concerned about that. host: you hear terms like "total failure" with some of the crop production. explain the biggest fear for your right now. guest: i think the biggest fear is in the southwest with the situation of the cattle producers. i think they are the ones facing the biggest problem. skyrocketing costs would cause ripples throughout the economy. the rural economy has been one of the bright spots. if everybody's food prices go up, that is like inducing another recession because people are already stretched financially. if food costs more, they feel even more stretched. host: jerry hagstrom of the hagstrom report, thank you for joining us today. you can check it out at hagstromreport.com up next, we will discuss what it means for u.s. consumers.
